[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I moved to my wife's parents place.  We live in a separate house from her parents but live on the same property.  I want to move back where we lived for the past ten years.  Living here, she has told me she does not want any of my family to visit us.  She told me if I move back, she would not move back with me.  She also said she would keep our children.  [/quote]

OP, I'm sorry that you are going through this. You have done the right thing and sacrificed your lifestyle "in the city."

Blocking visits from your family is not ok, as I'm sure you know it. It looks like you are at a crossroads. Maybe sign a one-year lease on an apartment in the city, spend a big part of the workweek there, and see how it will work out.

Cities offer more educational, cultural and career opportunities than small towns. Would she be inclined to accept this as a reason to move back? Young adults flee small towns because of the lack of opportunities.

Good luck![/quote]

Let me try to paint the picture.  We bought a house a year and a half ago where we were in the area from ten years.  She wants to sell the house, but we all liked living down there.  I got cancer a few months ago, but everything is good.  No cancer now.  I like where I am working, but I have a very hard time living in a very rural area.  I am a Christian and I know our good Lord, Jesus Christ, is doing amazing things in my life.  I am trying to put all of my faith in him.  When we live down there, my wife always took our children to her parents.  She also had our oldest child stay with them many times.  She did not want my parents to have her.  My wife was very spoiled when she grew up (I do not want to say much more, because I am trying to love her as much as I can).  My wife has MS and the health insurance is not the best.  They are not covering all of her medicine that her doctor has ordered.  We had great insurance where we lived before.  We had a great church family down there as well.  That was our "HOME".
